Yeah, I noticed that, too.

Tried it; no change.  Set it back enabled.

Tried that with and without the colon.  Both ways just add "gibberish" to 
stdout:

CVSTag=JBoss_3_2_6 date=200410140106) 

Presumably the first line (the "gibberish") is from verbosegc; the second is 
the first line logged by the application.  Other "gibberish" lines are now 
interspersed in stdout.  IOW, it's not telling me anything in any useful or 
understandable format.

I notice all the other "switches" discussed so far are preceded by an uppercase 
letter.  Should I be spelling it "-Xverbosegc"?  The diagnosis manual doesn't 
say....

Vendor gave us 128M and 1024M respectively for those options.

Would be nice to find all these "switches" documented in one place....
